Uniform.
Extra water
Extra fuel.
Extra administration time.
Extra vehicle?
Last but by no means least, a wedge of extra aggro from the custards.

Holiday entitlement is 28 days if they work 5 days a week, if part time, say 3 days a week it is 16.8 days ( 28 days  multiplied by 3 divided by 5 )
Don't forget you will have to pay SSP if they are off sick, pension contributions,  and also the payroll costs will increase when the new pension contributions comes into force.

28 days does include statutory holidays though. What it all means though is that to make it worthwhile you need the employee to be bringing in around three times their daily pay.

Alternatively, if your helper is serious. Then they set themselves up as a sole trader and you are sub contracting them. You pay them the agreed wage and they sort out their own taxes etc. So ita two sole traders who happen to be working together.
Your still helping someone out in life and perhaps more so!

lol would you like to tell us how much you pay your employees then please and let others decide whether or not it's a good wage,does your employees-employee end up with much over 300 a week then does he if he does it's got to be costing you well over 25k a year to do it properly. It all depends what you call good money some might think 3-400 a day with help is good some might say they couldn't run there business on that,every situation is different who knows some might work on there own and still take what you may do with a couple of staff.

It isn't as bad as you think, you just need to grow some balls and take the jump.

Wages: easy
Payroll: Ask your accountant. Mine is £7.00 per employee.
Employers liability  and public: Mines £45.00 per month.
Tools and uniform: .....
Extra water: pence

Profit: LOADS!

If you don't mind me asking James - do you pay your guys a set hourly rate or a % of turnover?

How do you handle holiday and sick pay when the guys aren't earning but your still paying out?

There is no employer's contribution for NI if there's only one employee and the tax is part of the salary.
